I’m an anime-only watcher, and something has been bugging me: why does the author repeatedly hammer in the uncanny resemblance between Emilia and Satella? It’s pointed out way too often to just be a coincidence or a simply a tease .

I feel like there has to be some kind of massive time travel, time loop, or even reincarnation (specifically regarding Subaru) involved for their connection to actually make sense. I just can't quite piece together how that would work mechanically in the story.

Could Emilia be a past or future version of Satella caught in a massive loop? And does Subaru being summoned have something to do with him being a reincarnation of someone tied to her from 400 years ago ?

the LN guys shall not spoil anything .
